Mobile Vikings fibre: what is Proximus's low-cost subsidiary internet worth in 2026?

Mobile Vikings made its name with mobile plans built on an offbeat tone and generous data. For a few years now, the brand has also offered fixed home internet, fibre included. But Mobile Vikings owns no network: it's a Proximus subsidiary that resells the parent company's FTTH fibre, often at a gentler price. So what is a Mobile Vikings fibre plan really worth in 2026, at what price, and who is it right for? Here's our take, updated as of July 2026.

Who owns Mobile Vikings in 2026?

Mobile Vikings is owned by the Proximus group. The operator, born in Flanders, joined the group in late 2020 and has been a full subsidiary since. Like Scarlet or Tango, the brand has kept its name, its visual identity and its positioning, while relying on the resources of the country's biggest operator. For you, that means one simple thing: you deal with a brand that wants to feel young, direct and cheaper, but the infrastructure, the network and much of the technology behind it are Proximus's. This subsidiary status is no marketing detail: it's precisely what explains both the tight prices and the access to fibre.

Whose network is Mobile Vikings fibre?

It's the Proximus network, with no exception. Mobile Vikings doesn't roll out a single metre of fibre of its own: the brand resells access to the Proximus FTTH fibre network. Where fibre is connected to your home, you therefore enjoy the same infrastructure as Proximus customers. Where it isn't yet, the connection automatically falls back to VDSL, the copper telephone pair, still on the Proximus network. This is worth keeping in mind: the word "fibre" in an offer's name doesn't guarantee that fibre reaches your home. It all depends on the rollout at your address.

How much do Mobile Vikings internet plans cost in 2026?

Mobile Vikings fixed internet plans range from about €40/month to €90/month (rates checked July 2026). The entry level, "Fast Internet," is around €40/month for speeds up to 150 Mbps. The most common fibre tier, "Superfast Internet," is offered around €55/month for 1 Gbps. In early 2026, the brand added a "megafast" plan at 2 Gbps billed around €70/month, and a top-end "hyper" plan around €90/month to target the highest network speeds. The real price, not the headline rate: all these plans come with unlimited data, a combo discount of €3/month applies if you add a Mobile Vikings mobile plan, and a Disney+ discount of about €2/month is regularly promoted. To place these figures against the country's other networks, see our ranking of the best fibre internet offers in Belgium.

What real speeds does Mobile Vikings fibre deliver?

On fibre, speeds are those of the Proximus network, so among the highest on the Belgian market. The superfast plan reaches 1 Gbps download and 500 Mbps upload, the megafast plan rises to 2 Gbps / 750 Mbps, and the hyper plan targets very high speeds. But let's be clear: the vast majority of households don't need 2 Gbps. For 4K streaming on several screens, remote work, video calls and online gaming, a plan around 150 Mbps to 1 Gbps already covers all the uses of a typical household. Fibre's real advantage here isn't so much the maximum figure as the stability and high upload, useful for video calls, cloud backup and remote work. And all of that only holds if fibre is connected at your home: on VDSL fallback, speeds drop markedly.

Is Mobile Vikings really cheaper than Proximus?

Often yes, and that's the whole point of the subsidiary. At comparable speed and on strictly the same network, a Mobile Vikings internet subscription generally works out cheaper than its Proximus equivalent; several Belgian comparison sites and media put the possible saving at several tens of euros a year on the internet connection alone. The logic is the same as for Scarlet, the group's other "low cost" subsidiary: a simpler offer, fewer options, lower overheads, on an identical network. The trade-off is real: a reduced catalogue, no television, and subsidiary-level customer service that doesn't have all the parent company's channels. If your priority is paying a fair price for a good connection, the price gap is clearly worth a look. To compare point by point, also read our Proximus fibre review.

Can you get television with Mobile Vikings?

No, and it's the offer's main limit. Mobile Vikings doesn't sell a TV bundle or set-top box: its catalogue is limited to fixed internet and mobile. If you're after an all-in-one pack with the usual channels, recording and replay in a single subscription, you'll need to look elsewhere, at the internet + TV packs of the big operators. That said, the absence of TV is only a problem if you care about it: many households today make do with a good fibre connection and streaming apps to watch television. In that case, not paying for a set-top box you don't need is actually an advantage. It all comes down to your real usage.

Who is a Mobile Vikings fibre plan worth it for — and who not?

The Mobile Vikings offer is aimed first at a household that wants the quality of the Proximus network, fibre included, but at a gentler price and without frills. For a connected profile, comfortable with digital, who watches television via apps and already has (or will take) a Mobile Vikings mobile plan for the combo discount, it's a very coherent choice. It's less so for anyone who wants an all-inclusive pack with TV, premium customer service, or many à la carte options: in that case, a big operator remains more suitable. Before signing, do the three checks that matter: confirm that fibre is actually connected at your address (otherwise you'll be on VDSL), choose a speed set to your real usage rather than the highest number, and compare the total cost, combo and discounts included, with the other offers in your area.
